New research studies how people navigate a world in which data-collection is ubiquitous

Internet search engines are a treasure trove of user data. Researchers have estimated that more than 4 million search queries are entered into Google every minute.

The use of computer algorithms that can make inferences from user data about a person’s gender, age, political opinions, religious affiliations and other traits is widespread, which has raised serious privacy concerns.

Cheaper production of an unsung industrial substance could make hard stuff a lot easier

Boron nitride has a tough reputation.

Prof. Rick S. Blum, IEEE Fellow and the Robert W. Wieseman Endowed Professor in Electrical Engineering in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Lehigh University, was named an IEEE Signal Processing Society Distinguished Lecturer for the 2018 calendar year. Blum was previously appointed the honor in 2011.

During his 2018 term, Blum presented lecturers to:

Lehigh University to host collaborative, interdisciplinary workshops in computationally-intensive academic research

Lehigh University has racked up another win with the innovative TRIPODS+X program of the National Science Foundation (NSF.)

The structural engineering professor remembers his 36 years of teaching, research, and service on South Mountain.

"Am I a traditional structural engineer? Not quite. Am I proud of that? Yes," says John Wilson, professor emeritus of structural engineering.

CEE chair lauded for contributions to hydraulic engineering

Dr. Panayiotis "Panos" Diplas, the P.C. Rossin Professor and Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Lehigh University, has been elected as a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE.)

NSF CAREER Award supports Lehigh University partnership with Sandia National Labs to explore the science of friction

Around the turn of the decade, NASA’s Kepler Space Observatory lived like a rock star.

Have you ever wanted to install an overhead light fixture but not deal with the headache required to make it a reality?

Re-wiring in any building is taxing process. Ripping apart drywall and placing the desired wiring and putting it all back up is annoying for even the most experienced contractors. Matthew Bilsky, current adjunct professor and recent doctoral recipient in the department of mechanical engineering and mechanics, discovered a solution through an innovative way of thinking.

The nomination of "professor" in Poland is not a title to be taken lightly. It is a prestigious award in the eastern European country, viewed as the highest honor one can earn.

Wojciech Misiolek, chair of the materials science and engineering department at Lehigh University, can now count himself part of that exclusive group.

Walk into a typical home improvement store, says Jonathan Wierer, and the progress of the LED revolution quickly becomes apparent.

In the lighting section of most of these stores, says Wierer, an associate professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering and the Center for Photonics and Nanoelectronics (CPN), bulbs made with LED (light-emitting diode) technology account for more than half of the displays.
